The Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) which met this Thursday, February 3 in Accra, Ghana in an extraordinary session on the political situations in Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso, under the presidency of Nana Akufo-Addo, has decided to maintain pressure on the military in power in Guinea.
After reviewing the memorandum presented by Jean-Claude Kassi Brou, President of the Regional Organization Commission, the Heads of State took note of the recent creation by the National Rally Committee for Development (CNRD), of the National Council of Transition (CNT) as a legislative body. They did, however, express concern over the lack of a timetable that defines the duration of the transition, five months after the military took power. Which, according to the press release which sanctioned the meeting, consequently leads the Conference of Heads of State to maintain all the sanctions imposed on Guinea, while demanding the publication of a timetable leading to the restoration of constitutional order. .
ECOWAS indicates that it is however committed to supporting Guinea for a rapid return to constitutional order.
